Expected to be drafted within the Top 15 selections, Troy Fautanu fell to the 20th pick. He’s not mad about his landing spot, a Steelers’ fan now playing for the franchise, but every pick worth their weight is prideful and wants to hear their name called as early as possible. Fautanu’s slide, athletic, experienced, and high-character, was surprising, even if it was fortunate for Pittsburgh. Fautanu has a guess why he fell.
Appearing on the woefully named Softy & Dick, a Seattle radio station for KJR, Fautanu believes teams leaked injury concerns to get him to fall.
